Ha. I have the same story. That’s why I turn to the internet. But still it would be nice have that one on one guidance of someone that knows the craft.

The Nile is a really helpful online bookshop here in Australia which has always been able to get whatever I need, and locally Threadbear Quilts in Castlemaine is my favourite local shop with smiling service!

Locally, I have The Needler for crochet & knitting books and a small store called Pieces and Patches for sewing books. My favorite places to go for craft books are thrift stores though.

My favorites are etsy and sewmamasew but I love to get my books from amazon and eBay.

Since there are no close stores I usually go on Amazon to find my books.

Bluebird Quilts and Gallery in Grand Terrace, CA is my favorite — a shop small enough not to overwhelm and big enough to have exactly what I need.

As a person who likes to sewing this would be a great reference points for my projects

Overstock.com for a few couture sewing books, local books stores, and for fabric I love the fabrics at Just Make In Sew a local fabric store that has great high quality fabrics!

I’m always picking up craft books after my book club at Book Passage in Corte Madera, CA.

“Trapuzahar” is my favorite local store. A small shop where three women are very attentive and will help you no matter how many people is lining up. Very good saleswomen!

My local store is called Toto, it’s not fantastic but i’m used to it now… Some of the saleswoman are nice. (Not all!) And also, one day they asked me where was my sewing workshop, I was very flattered!

I don’t know of many online indie bookstores. I usually buy from Amazon.

I live in New York, the biggest bookstore in the world for new crafters like myself. From my local Barnes & Noble in Forest Hills to the international magazine store on 43rd street right next to Bryant park, to that cozy quilter store I’ve meaning to get to… I’m truly spoilt for choices.

My favorite indie shop was reprodepot.com, but now I just go out to Mood or do some comparison shopping online. I don’t really have a go-to place anymore, sadly…
Dec 26, 2011, 04.50 AMby serenity09
I shop at Sav-A-Ton on Fordham Road in the Bronx; you can sometimes get fabric for a dollar a yard.
